You Already!

I never imagined a man could be very vocal and expressive. I grew up surrounded by men of very few words and calculated sentiments. The men in our family are looked upon as rule makers. They portray an aura of power and sternness.  Feelings are never questioned but they are not also conveyed orally and verbally. When you came, all the notions of men as poker faces and dictators were rubbed out. You tell me those magical words every chance you have. Holding hands and hugs are staples to our days. You throw surprises on no particular occasions.  You never hesitate to tell me how you feel, may it be that you are elated or down to the pits.

You have so many stories to tell though you may not be as blabber-mouthed as I am. You share your insights and knowledge about a lot of things- trivial, mundane, educational or deep. I never questioned your intellect for even before we became an item I am hats off to your brainpower. I owe you my grade in my college math subjects, remember? Your dedication and hard work are incomparable just to enlighten me with those formulas and graphs. The random exchange of facts and lessons we have over anything under the sun are etched in my mind. Much to my (or other people’s) surprise, you can also be goofy and foolish. You make me laugh like a lunatic with your jokes, stunts and hirits. The “Jollibee dance” is my favourite, by far. Hahaha

I am a very irritable person but you taught me to control my temper.  You taught me to appreciate even the smallest things. You taught me not to be so worrisome. You taught me to forgive people who bashed you (yes, I am a war freak like that!) and instead ask that their souls be blessed. You taught me that sometimes silence makes a lot of difference than blurting it all out. You are my critic and fan rolled into one. You embraced me as I am but does not hesitate to reprimand me if there need be. You keep up with me, craziness and all. You gained the approval of my sibs and friends by just being yourself (a lil extravagance didn’t hurt ;p). You endured the test of my dad, proving him your good intentions. You taught me to love will all my heart, with no hesitations.

Over the years, He has blessed us with so many things- both individually and as a couple. The one thing that I am most thankful for is that He let us reach this far. It was not an easy journey, it was in fact more than a roller coaster ride but you stayed, we stayed. We beat the odds and we will continue to do so for years to come. Each hurdle is bearable because I know we got each other’s back.

An answered prayer is what you are. You couldn’t imagine how happy I was when my conversations and negotiations with Him paid off. I love you more than love could ever be defined. You are the only person who was able to extract the mushiness in me and I love every single bit of it.

Seven years is copper or wool. May our love be like copper which do not rust. May we be like wool who keeps each other warm during cold moments in our life. May we forever be like each other now, truly, madly, deeply in love with each other. For the man I dream to be with is YOU ALREADY!

Happy 7^th Heaven, Prince!

Aren't these two the cutest? Oh! This is so fitting, BTW, since the Boyfriend is as kupad as the Turtle. *Shhhh.. Don't tell him I said that. :D*
